This is an incredibly dishonest argument imo. Ignoring the fact that Grindr saying #BLM while changing a policy doesn't mean "BLM supports it", it's an entirely different policy and situation. Grindr is a dating app that had a race filter. Not a video content website that lets users tag themselves by their race or sexuality if they want, a dating app that allowed people to actively exclude any and all members of a race they did not what to see.
Even if you disagree with what Twitch is doing here, you can't possibly suggest that it's the same thing as what happened with Grindr if you're actually engaging with this discussion in good faith.

I disagree. The very article you provided lists various different ways people have defined race, and it's certainly not an exhaustive list. Race is very much real, in the same way all social constructs are real, but it's by no means a consistent or scientific classification system.

No, it objectively isn't. Your objection to this might be easier to understand if you say something that isn't ridiculous or blatantly untrue

Do you sincerely think this? Because tags on a website have literally nothing to do with what MLK said about dreaming of a non-racist world.

If you sincerely believe that allowing people to browse by tags like this is segregation of any kind, especially to the level of those other things you said, you really need to calm down and think critically about this instead of saying something that absurd out of an emotional reaction.
